'''5L 1s(<15/8>)''' refers to [[MOS scale]]s with 5 large steps and 1 small step. When L=s we have [[6edo|6edo]], the equal-tempered "whole tone scale" of impressionistic fame. At the other end of the spectrum, we approach [[5edo]], with five equal whole tones of 240 cents. In between, we find relatively even hexatonic scales with one irregularity: a "whole tone" which is smaller than all the others — perhaps not a "whole tone" at all.
